CHAPTER I

FUNCTIONS, ORGANISATION AND PERSONNEL 1. Functions.-The main function of this Department is to ameliorate the conditions of the Backward Classes so as to bring them in line with the other sections of the society as quickly as possible. To achieve this object the Department is pursuing a three-fold line of action. (1) Education.-This is encouraged by grant of various concessions with respect to Primary, Secondary and College education and training in crafts. (2) Economic rehabilitation.-This is mainly effected by (i) grant of waste lands for cultivation, (ii) provision for housing and (ilii) provision for cottage industries, especially those which have been the hereditary occupations of the Back­ ward Classes, ( iv) organisation of forest labour contract societies, etc. (3) Social Welfare.-This is mainly aimed at removing the stigma of untouchabiliy that is attached to certain sections of the Backward Classes. Legislation and propaganda work all over the State through the agency of social welfare organisa­ tions, are the means by which this object is being achieved. The Department is not ordinarily charged with executive work. The execution of the programme in any particular field continues to be the responsibility of individual departments or officers concerned. The Director of Backward Class Welfare seeks to co-ordinate the work in relation to the Backward Classes in accordance with the directive of Government. He has to see in what manner general development plans require adaptation as far as the Backwaw Classes are concerned. Plans and programmes for new schemes are also to be prepar­ ed by individual departments or officers in consultation with the Director of Backward Class Welfare. The Director of Back­ ward Class Welfare also advises Government on the general policy and the planning of individual schemes and exercises general inspection to .see that the detailed plans are properly and promtly executed. The Director of Backward Class Wel­ fare and the staff under him take the fullest help and obtain. the co-ordination of the Revenue and other officers as and Lino.-3 2797 2 when required. They are in close touch with other Depart­ ments of Government to ensure that Government's policy and programme for the amelioration of the Backward Classes are effectively implemented. 2. Organisation.__,The Head of the Department is designated as Director of Backward Class Welfare. The Director of Backward Class Welfare is assisted at Head­ quarters by one Personal Assistant in the· grade of Assistant Director of Backward Class Welfare. There are in addition 5 posts of Assistant Directors of Backward Class Welfare, each in charge of a circle. These posts of Assistant Directors of Backward Class Welfare now form part of general cadre of Deputy Collectors. The jurisdiction and Headquarters of the Assistant Directors of Backward Class Welfare as on the 31st March 1951 were as follows:- S.No. Zone Jurisdiction Head-quarters 1. Asstt.

The Assistant Directors of Backward Class Welfare and the Backward Class Welfare Officers are touring officers, who have to tour for 210 days in a year< Backward Class Board 3. The tenure of the Backward Class Board constituted under Government Resolution, Education Department, No. 8603, dated the 3rd November 1948, expired in 1950 and the Board was reconstituted under Government Resolution, Education Department, No. BCE. 1250, dated the 8th November 1950 and amended by Government Resolution of the same No. dated the 19th December 1950, whereby one additional member was ap­ pointed on the Backward Class Board. The constitution of the Board which functioned during the period under review is given in Appendix I. The Board advises Government in its policy with regard to the Backward Classes. The functions of the Board are consul­ tative and advisory. The Board held three meetings during the period Ullder review one in Bombay and two in Poona. 4

The important resolutions passed by the Board at these three meetings and the orders of Government thereon are detailed in Appendix II. District Backward Class Committees 4. There is a District Backward Class Committee for each District of the State (except at Bombay and the Dangs) of which the Collector is the Chairman. The Committee discusses the needs and the grievances of the Backward Classes within the District and takes suitable action. The revised Rules for the formation and working of District Backward Class Committees are reproduced in Appendix III. Under these rules during the period under :review, District Backward Class Committees were nominated and continued to function in the following D;stricts:- 1. Ahmedabad. 14. North Satara. 2. Ahmednagar. 15. Panch Mahals. 3. Broach. 16. Poona. 4. Banaskantha. 17. South Satara. 5. Belgaum. 18. Kolhapur. 6. Bijapur. 19. Mehsana. 7. Amreli. 20. Sabarkantha. 8. Dharwar. 21. Sholapur. 9.

Shri Raddi continued to hold the post for the rest of the period under review. 5

CHAPTER II

SOCIAL PROBLEM 8. The stigma of untouchability attaching to a large section of the Backward Classes, viz., the Scheduled Castes, popularly known as Harijans, was sought to be removed by law by two pieces of legislation which were placed on the Statute Book. These are, (1) the Bombay Harijan (Removal of Social Dis­ abilities) Act, 1946 and (2) the Bombay Harijan Temple Entry Act, 1947. Under the first Act it is laid down that notwithstanding any­ thing contained in any instrument or any law, custom or usage to the contrary, no Harijan shall, merely on the ground that he il:; a Harijan, be .ineligible for office under any authority con­ stituted under any law. The Law Courts are required not to re­ cognise any custom or usage imposing disability on Harijans. Local Authorities are .also enjoined not to recognise any such custom or usage in carrying out the functions and duties en­ trusted to them under any law. As a result of this Act Harijans cannot now be prevented from:- · (i) having access to or using any river, stream, spring well, tank, cistern, water tap or. other watering place, or any bathing place, burial or cremation ground, any sanitary convenience, any road or pathway which the members of all other castes and classes of Hindus have a right to use or have access to; ( ii) having access to or using any public conveyance plying for hire; (iii) having access to or using any building or place used for charitable or public purpose maintained wholly or partially out of the revenues of the State or the funds of the Local Authority; (iv) having access to a place of public amusement or a place of public entertainment; (v) having access to an establishment to which members of all castes or classes of Hindus are ordinarily admitted; (vi) having access to or using any place set apart or main­ tained for the use of the Hindus generally but not for the use of any particular section or chtss thereof. (vii) enjoying any benefit urider a charitable trust created for the benefit of Hindus generally but not for the · benefit of any particular section or class thereof. 6

Similarly discrimination against a Harijan in any for~ merely on the ground that he is a Harijan by any person m charge of any of the place referred to previously i~ al~o penalised. The Law also provides for. enhanced penalties m certain cases after previous conviction. 9. Under the Bombay Harijan Temple Entry Act, 1947, as amended by an amending Act of 1948, Harijans are given the same right to enter and perform worship in temples as is exer­ cised by or open to any member of the Hindu Community or any section thereof and are entitled to bathe in or use the water of any sacred tank, well, spring or water course in the same manner and to the same extent as any member of the Hindu Community or any section thereof. The term "Hindus" as de­ fined in this Act also includes 'Jains'. 10. The most noteworthy feature of both these Acts is that offences under these Acts are cognisable. This provision enables direct action through Government Agency to see that these Acts are properly enforced and achieve the purpose in view. In order that these laws may not remain a dead letter, it is also necessary that the Harijans themselves should assert their rights and give the fullest co-operation to the forces of law and order in bringing the offenders to book. The Harijans are spread all over the State and form a minority wherever they are. In addition they are also, except in larger urban areas, economically dependent on the so-called "Savarna" sections of the Hindu Community. If they are apprehensive of damage to their interests by assertion of their rights, such apprehension could be understood. The root cause of such apprehension is, however, sought to be removed by positive preventive action wherever the attempts of Harijans to assert their civic rights are sought to be frustrated by the local community and by propaganda · through official channels supplemented by non­ official social workers working under the aegis of recognised Voluntary Agencies. These Voluntary Agencies receive grants­ in-aid under the Rules for the recognition of and payment of grant-in-aid to Voluntary Agencies working for the uplift of the Backward Classes in the Bombay State. The propaganda is designed both to make the Harijans conscious of their rights and to secure loyal adherance to the laws by others by bringing about a genuine change of hearts on their part. 11. During the period under review, the following prosecu­ tions were launched under the two Acts:-

Cases under the Harijan (RemOval of Cases under the Bombay Ho.rijan Sooial Disabilitie.) Act, 1946 Temple Entry Aol, 19!7

No. of cases No. of cases No, of cases No. of ca.ses No. of cases sent to No. of sent to resulting in cases resulting in Court for. decided convictions Court for decided convictions prosecution prosecution

58 21 18 11 2 2 In a large number of cases particularly in the matter of access to places of public entertainment or amusement and establish­ ments, and of discrimination practised in such places and establishments and temples, it was found that persuation by Government officers and non-official social workers was sufficient to secure the end of the social disabilities imposed on the Harijans. Devadasis - 12. Another social evil peculiar to Backward Classes, which prevails in some parts of the State, is the system of dedicating . young girls to temples as Devadasis. This system has in practice degenerated into prostitution. The Bombay Devadasis Protec­ tion Act was, therefore, passed with a view to eradicate this mal-practice. It was, however, realised from experience that the Bombay Devadasis Protection Act, 1934, did not fully secure the object in view because the offences under the Act were non-cognisable. The Act has, therefore, been amended by the Bombay Devadasis Protection (Amendment) Act, 1950, under which the offences under the Act were made cognisable. A social evil of this nature can, however, be tackled only to a very limited extent by laws. For its effective eradication, it is necessary to stir the social conscience and to bring home the consequences of these evils to the persons who resort to them and also to those who profit by them. Recognised Social Service Agencies working for the uplift of the Backward Classes are actively encouraged in the work of propaganda to . this end through tried social workers by being paid grants under rules for the recognition of and payment of grants-in-aid to re­ cognised Voluntary Agenc:es working for the uplift of the Backward Classes in the Bombay State. 8

Social· Service Agencies 13. During the year under report grants totalling Rs. 56,570-14-9 as compared to Rs. 21,986-4-3 paid last year were sanctioned under the Rules for the recognition of and payment of grant-in-aid to the Voluntary Agencies working for the up­ lift of the Backward Classes in the Bombay State. Appendix VI gives the details of the grants paid to the various Voluntary Agencies for their general ameliorative activities (oth.er than management of hostels) by the Backward Class Department. A list showing the number of Voluntary Agencies and the Propaganda workers under each of the Voluntary Agencies together with the average number of days toured and the main items of propaganda is given in Appendix VII.

CHAPTER III

EDUCATION (PRIMARY) 14. Education at all stages, namely, Primary, Secondary and College is free to all eligible members of the Backward Classes in this State. The Backward Class communities are realising the value of this concession and every year more and more students from the Backward Classes are availing of this facility as will be seen from the following figures:-

Kinds of Institutions No. of pupils of the Backward Classes 1947-48 1948-49 1949-50 1950-51 College 608 792 1,444 1,271 Secondary 10,354 11,418 17,561 21,870 Primary 3,48,996 5,10,843 6,41,253 6,85,905 Training Institutions 1,021 1,362 1,546 1,514 Other Special Schools 31,605 77,733 75,796 72,409 Total 3,92684 5,93,148 7,37,600 7,82,969 Though there is a small decrease in the number of pupils g,t­ tending colleges, training institutions and special schools, there is a satisfactory increase in the number of pupils attending pri­ mary and secondary schools in the year 1950-51 as compared with the previous years. This increase in the number of pupils in primary and secondary schools has been due to the awaken­ ing among these classes due to the sympathetic encouragement given to them by Government in the form of special conces­ sions. 9

15, There are various special facilities and concessions pr.J­ vided for the Backward Classes. Of these, those pertaining to Pr:mary Education are detailed in subsequent paragraphs. 16. Compulsory Primary Education is now in force throughout the State in towns and villages having a population of 1000 and above and· the First Five Year Plan in this connection, which commenced from the year 1947, was under active operation during the year under report. In addition to this, Government have directed that District School Boards should run schools in villages with a population of 700 and over at full cost to Government and that the Voluntary Organisa­ tions should be encouraged to run schools in the case of smaller villages with a population of 400 and over on grant-in-aid basis. It was, however, noticed that as the Backward Classes are mostly residing in smaller villages, the Backward communities will not be fully benefitted by the First Five Year Plan of com­ pulsory education as at present formulated. Government had, therefbr.e, appointed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri D. N. Wandrekar, the then Parliamentary Secretary to Hon'ble Minister, Backward Class Department, to conduct a survey of Dahanu, Umbergaon, and Palghar Talukas of the Thana District and to prepare a programme of educational ex­ pansion in these areas specially for the Backward Classes. As a result of the recommendations of this Committee, Govern­ ment have sanctioned the introduction of compulsory primary education in the Umbergaon Taluka of the Thana District from the 1st March 1949-in all villages with a population of 500 and more. As a result of this, Government had ordered that 100 schools should initially be opened in certain specified Scheduled Areas of the Thana District. On the 31st March 1951 there were 28 Primary Schools in Umbergaon Taluka and 60 in Dahanu and Mokhada Talukas. The total expenditure incurred during the year ending the 31st March 1951 on these schools was roughly Rs. 1,54,046/-. 17. The Survey Committees of Kolaba, Panch Mahals and North Kanara have submitted their reports to Government and they are under print. The Survey Committees of Nasik and West Khandesh have not yet submitted their reports to Govern­ ment.. 18. In Government Resolution, Education and Industries Department, No. 8441, dated the 17th March, 1949, Government were pleased to direct that a certain percentage of the building Hi grants placed annually at the disposal of the District Building Committee should be earmarked for constructing Pri­ mary School buildings in the Backward areas, i.e., villages hav­ ing Backward Class population to the extent of more than 60 per cent. The amount to be reserved for such areas is to be fixed by the District Building Committee, in consultation with the District Backward Class Committee, subject, however, to a minimum of 15 per cent of the total grant made to the District Building Comm;ttee and a maximum of 50 per cent of such grant. Government have further directed that school buildings in such areas should be built largely by the use of the material locally available and that the school building should not ordi­ narily cost more than Rs. 2,500 in each case. A part of the ex­ penditure on the school building should be shared by contribu­ tion from the villagers in the shape of unskilled labour, grant of free site or building material. During the year under report 128 school buildings were constructed at a cost of Rs. 17,31,885.

Educational concessions to the Backward Classes 19. Under the general scheme of compulsion, all Local Authorities are authorised to spend Rs. 2 per annum per head on the provision of slates, books, stationery, etc., for Backward Class pupils in the compulsory areas. The following table gives the data consolidated for each category of Local Authorities during the year under review:-

Local Authority Amount Amount actually sanctioned spent Rs. Re. I. District School Boards 4,19,022 1,13,415-1-3

II. Municipal School Boards 6,875 626-8-0

III. Deputy Educational Inspec- 10,000 tors-cum-Administrative Officers.

Total . . . 4,35,897 1,14,041-9-3

20. From the above it would be seen that much of the sanc­ tioned amount was not utilised during the year under report. One of the Post War Reconstruction Schemes for the ameliora­ tion of the Backward Classes, P. W. R. Scheme No. 208, covers the field of primary education. The details of the items under this scheme are as below:- (A) Increased accommodation in Backward Class Hostels run by District School Boards and stipends In order to enable the Backward Class Hostels run by Dis­ trict School Boards to provide more accommodation for addi­ tional pupils, Government have sanctioned the payment of ad­ ditional grants for this purpose. The number of Backward Class Hostels maintained by District School Boards which was 53 (with 2,140 boarders) at the beginning of the year, increased ot 58 (with 2,270 boarders). (These figures do not include the addi­ tional Backward Class Hostels sanctioned as part of the P. W. R. Scheme No. 208 (3) mentioned below). The rate of stipends payable to the boarders at these hostels · which was at Rs. 12 per inmate has been raised to Rs. 15 per inmate as per orders contained in Government Resolution, Edu­ cation Department, No. 8550, dated the 31st July 1950. (B) New Backward Class Hostels to be opened by District School Boards Item (3) of P. w. R. Scheme 208 relates to the opening of 25 new Backward Class Hostels (with 700 boarders) to be conduct­ ed by the Local Authorities. Of these 14 hostels for Backward Classes attached to primary schools (9 for boys and 5 for girls) were ordered by Government to be opened at the following places:- 1. Prantij Taluka (Ahmedabad District) Boys Hostel. 2. Kasa (Thana District) Girls Hostel. 3. Jawhar (Thana District) Girls Hostel. 4. Pandharpur Taluka (Sholapur District) Girls Hostel. 5. Sangola Taluka (Sholapur District) Boys Hostel. 6. Athani Taluka (Belgaum District) Boys Hostel. 7. Badami Taluka (Bijapur District) Boys Hostel. 8. Ashte in Walva Taluka (South Satara Dist.) Boys Hostel. 9. Dahivadi (North Satara District) Girls Hostel. 10. Chiplun (Ratnagiri District) Boys Hostel. 11. Janjira Taluka (Kolaba District) Boys Hostel. 12. Mahad Taluka (Kolaba District) Boys Hostel. 13. Sirsi Taluka (North Kanara District) Boys Hostel. 14. Another suitable place in North Kanara District. 12

The Director of Education is to submit to Government pro­ posals in consultation with the Director of Backward Class Welfare for starting the remaining 11 hostels. ,in the merged and integrated areas. Out of the above 14 hostels, 5 were opened during the year under report in addition to 4 already opened in the previous year, thus bringing the total to 9 hostels. Their locations are given below: - Opened during 1949·50 Opened during 1950·51 1. Prantij, in Sabarkantha 1. Nate in Kolaba Dist. Dist. 2. Ashte in South Satara 2. Murud in Kolaba Dist. Dist. 3. Karkumb in Sholapur 3. Rampur in Ratnagiri Dist. Dist. 4. Javale in Sholapur Dist. 4. Ainapur in Belgaum Dist. 5. Jawhar in Thana Dist. The total expenditure incurred on the above hostels is given below:-

1949·50 1950.51 No. of Hostels Expenditure No. of Hostels Expenditute Rs. Rs. 57 3,01,915 67 4,49,842 (Including 4 hostels (Including 9 hostels under P. w. B, under P. W, R. Scheme.) Scheme.) In addition to the above 67 hostels, there was a Government Hostel at Ahwa (District Dangs) and 18 hostels in the former State areas now merged in the State. The question of continu­ ance of the hostels in the merged State areas on the lines of the District, School Board Hostels is under the consideration of Gov­ ernment. The entire expenditure of these hostels is borne by Government by way of grants to the Boards.

(C) Additional Sets of Scholarships There was a provision of 162 sets of scholarships for Backward Class pupils in the Higher Primary Standards, viz., V, VI and VII. A provision of additional 100 sets of scholarships as one of the items of this scheme (P. W. R. Scheme No. 208) was also sanctioned by Government during the year under report. Thus a total of 262 sets of scholarships were avaiilaQle for Backward Classes. in primary schools. A further 50 sets of scholarships 13 were also sanctioned after the merger of the States under Gov­ ernment Resolution, Education Department, No. 1082, dated the lOth September 1949. A further addition of 58 sets of scholar­ ships was sanctioned on account of the merger of Baroda and Kolhapur States under Government Resolution, Education Department, No. 8596, dated the 9th July 1950. Thus a total of 370 sets (1,110 scholarships) were made available during the year under report as against 312 sets (936 scholarships) during the previous year. During the year under report, an amount of Rs. 45,400 was spent on these scholarships, as against Rs. 37,440 spent during the previous year. The School Boards also spend some amount on scholarships every year. The amount. spent by them during the year under report was Rs. 91,762.

(D) Prizes to teachers and pupils Prizes were awarded to teachers and pupils of the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes. Free refresher courses for teachers in the five districts of Panch Mahals, Surat, Thana, Nasik and West Khandesh at a cost of Rs. 2,000 per District and in the remaining districts at a cost of Rs. 1,000 per district were organised in the State. An amount of Rs. 32,380 was spent on this item during the year under report, as against Rs. 23,117 spent during the previous year. (E) Scholarships im Craft Schools On the recommendations of an Ad Hoc Committee, Govern­ ment sanctioned in September 1943 a scheme of providing faci­ lities for industrial training in 10 selected Primary Schools in the 4 Districts of Surat, Thana, Nasik and West Khandesh for imparting elementary training in different crafts to Backward Class children. During the year under report, the scheme was continued. A scholarship of Rs. 5 p. m. each to Backward Class candidates at the 10 Industrial Bias Classes was sanctioned by Government subject to the condition that- (a) the Backward Class candidate should pass the test examination specifically held for the purpose. (b) the annual income of the guardian of the Backward Class pupil should not be more than Rs. 2,400 per annum. (c) the scholarships are to be awarded subject to regular. attendance, good work and behaviour on the part ·of the can­ didate.

CHAPTER VIII

HOUSING 59. One of the worst handicaps from which·the majority of the Backward Classes suffer is the thoroughly unsatisfactory nature of living accommodation to which they are subject. They live mostly in hovels in congested localities conspicuous for the absence of even elementary sanitation. This problem is most acute in localities in urban or near-about urban areas. People living in such localities can never be expected to develop a l:ealthy and cheerful outlook on life. One of the main items in the amelioration of the conditions of the Backward Classes is, therefore, the provision of decent houses in sanitary environ­ ments. The following paragraphs explain, in detail, the measures taken by Government to combat this problem. 60. The members of the Backward Classes in need of suit­ able house sites are being helped to obtain such sites either from Government waste lands or from lands acquired for the purpose which are then allotted to them on nominal occupancy price. Government have also ordered that with a view to break the isolation of Scheduled Castes quarters that is so frequently to be found in villages, the houses of the Scheduled Classes should be shifted closer to the main village sites, by making available waste lands for housing purposes on payment of reasonable occupancy price. Instructions were also issued that wherever it was noticed that the Scheduled Classes are resid­ ing in low-lying, marshy or deserted far off places every at­ tempt should be made to acquire sites in or near the villages for housing them. Under these orders action was taken in the following cases during the period under report:- (1) C. T. S. No. 69 Military parade. ground, Dharwar.-The total number of plots laid on this survey number are 130. Out of these 25 were vacant in the beginning of the year. All these plots were granted to members of the Backward Classes during the year under report. (2) Kerur, Tal. Indi, Dist. Bijapur.-An area of 5 acres and 38 gunthas out of Survey No. 43 has already been acquired for providing housing accommodation to Harijans of the village. The Director of Backward Class Welfare had previously direct­ ed that suitable plots should be laid out in this area and granted to individual Harijans. He has, however, recently instructed that a Co-operative Housing society should be formed for this area. Attempts in this connection are in progres:;;, 30

(3) Anagwadi, Petha Bilgi, District Bijapur.-An area of 3 acres and 37 gunthas out of Survey No. 204 has been acquired for housing the Harijan population of the village. A co-opera­ tive Housing Society of the Harijans has been formed and re­ gistered. The work of construction of houses will be taken up when the loan asked for by the Society is sanctioned. (4) C. T. S. No. 976 of Bijapur in the possession of the B. C. Department has been reserved for the Backward Classes. No plots on this site were, however, disposed of during the year under review. (5) Proceedings for the acquisition of land for a suitable site for housing Harijans of Garag, Tal. and District Dharwar are in progress. P. W. R. Scheme No. 219 61. Under the P. W. R. Scheme No. 219 assistance is given for improvement of housing for the Backward Classes wherever possible through the formation of Co-operative Housing Socie­ ties which are given free land and interest-free loans. Where the formation of Co-operative Housing Societies is not practic­ able, similar concessions are given to the Backward Classes on an individual basis. 62. During 1950-51, 67 Housing societies of Backward Classes were registered bringing the total number of such soc;eties re­ gistered since the inception of this scheme to 167. During the year under report, Rs. 1,53,365 and Rs. 650 were sanctioned to these societies as loans and subsidies respectively. Since the beginning of the Scheme Rs. 3,81,315 and Rs. 1,925 have been spent by way of loans and subsidies respectively to these socie­ ties. In addition, 3 individuals were granted loans amounting Rs. 3,250 under P. W. R. Scheme No. 274. Housing for Halpatis 63. Prior to the sanction of the general P. W. R. Scheme referred to above, Government sanctioned a scheme for the amelioration of the housing conditions of Halpatis or Dublas · of Surat district. Under this scheme 20 Co-operative Housing Societies were to be organised at 20 centres. These societies have already been organised and registered and one more soci­ ety was registered. During the year under report, Rs. 30,400 and Rs. 41,17G were paid to these societies

respectively as against Rs. 18,000 and Rs. 24,240 as loans and subsidies during the previous year. 64. With regard to housing in urban areas, Municipalities are encouraged to undertake slum-clearance schemes, and liberal grants-in-aid are given to the Municipalities. The payment of grant-in-aid depends on the merits of each case. A provision of Rs. 2,00,000 was made in the budget for the year under report. During the year under review no amount was spent on this scheme by the Municipalities as reported so far by the 21 Dis­ trict Collectors. Housing of Harijan Employees of Local Bodies 65. In Government Circular, Health and Local Self Govern­ ment Department, No. 2862/33, dated the 12th June 1948, Gov­ ernment sanctioned certain concessions to Local Bodies for the · housing of their Harijan employees. The concessions sanctioned are:- (1) Where a Local Body does not have land of its own for the purpose, Government land is made available free of charge. The value of the site is shown as a grant-in-aid to the Local Body. When Government sites are not available and private sites have to be purchased, the cost ' is included in the cost of the acquisition for which Government subsidy is payable. (2) Subsidies are payable by Government at the following rates:- (i) 33-1/3 per cent of the total cost inclusive of the site in the case of Borough Municipalities; (ii) 50 per cent of the total cost inclusive of the cost of site in the case of District Municipalities, Village Panchayats, District Local Boards and Notified Area Col!)mittees. The concessions under this scheme are also available to any Association or individuals working for the welfare of Harijans or any Co-operative Housing Society which desires to construct houses for Harijan employees of a local Body. In such cases the subsidy up to 50 per cent of the total cost is payable. On account of the poor state of their finance, a large number of Local Bodies have not been able to undertake housing 32 schemes for their Harijan employees. The information avail­ able in this respect for 1950-51 is tabulated below:-

CHAPTER IX

OCCUPATIONS Agriculture 66. Government have issued orders for giving preference to members of Backward Classes in respect of grant of waste lands for cultivation and have accordingly directed that in all dis­ tricts including the Scheduled Areas a· systematic attempt should be made to give out for cultivation all waste lands in­ cluding those .leased under the "Grow More Food Campaign" and forest lands which can more suitably and advantageously be used for cultivation provided that they are not required for assignment for public purposes, such as village grazing, cattle­ sheds and stands, manure pits, extension of gaothans, provision of sites for schools, playgrounds, gymnasia, burial and crema­ tion grounds, etc. All such lands, should of course be capable of being profitably cultivated. Appendix IX collates the data re­ ceived from Collectors with regard to the lands granted to the Backward Classes during the period under review. A total area of 31,745 acres assessed at Rs. 30,038-13-11 was granted to 6,305 Backward Class cultivators in implementation of the above Government orders. Lino.-S 2797-3 34

Co-operative Farming Societies 76. The Co-operative Movement has spread fairly amongst B. Cs. also. Co-operative Farming Societies are being formed for cultivation of Government or private waste lands which are obtained on long term or permanent basis for cultivation. Dur­ ing the year under report, 28 B. C. Co-operative Farming Soci­ eties were registered as against 9 societies registered during the previous year, bringing the total number of such societies to 47. During 19.50-51, Rs. 1,08,150 and Rs. 63,425 were paid to such societies as loans and subsidies respectively as against Rs. 45,950 and Rs. 29,330 paid during 1949-50. Irrigation Wells 77. The concessions available under the general scheme for agricultural improvement have been supplemented under P. W. R. Scheme. No. 217 to the extent that B. C. Agriculturists are 38 made eligible to receive subsidy equivalent to 30 per cent of the cost of construction of a new well limited to a maximum of Rs. 600 and 30 per cent of the cost of improvement !Jf an exist• ing well limited to a maximum of Rs. 300.

CHAPTER X

OccuPATIONS Forest Labour 80. An important section of the Backward Classes, viz., the Scheduled Tribes, popularly known as Adivasis, perform forest labour as the;r principal occupation in the fair season. With a view to ensure that these labourers are not deprived of their rightful earnings minimum wages for work in forest for forest labourers in the Thana, Kolaba, Nasik and West Khandesh dis­ tricts were prescribed by Government as shown below:-

Minimum wages per day Yes.r 1\:la.n Woman Boy or Girl. I (Under the age of 16) 195C-51 Rs. 1-4-0 Re. 1-0-0 Re. 0-12-0

This has had a good result. It was, however, felt that the eco­ nomic rehabilitation of the Scheduled Tribes required more than the fixation of the wages for forest labourers. A novel ex­ periment was, therefore, started in the year 1947 to eliminate ' the contractor and replace him by the agency. of a co-operative organization of the forest labourers to work the coupes. The object underlying this experiment was to secure the profits of the forest industry to those who live and work :n forests. The movement has made steady progress since its inception. 81. For planning the formation and development of Forest Labourers Co-operative Societies, Government also appointed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri D. N. Wandrekar, M. L.A., Parliamentary Secretary to ·the Honourable Minister for Backward Classes. The personnel of this committee as on 31st March 1951 was as under:- 1. Shri D. N. Wandrekar, M. L.A., Parliamentary Secre­ tary to the Honourable Minister for Rehabilitation, Fisheries and Backward Classes, (Chairman). 2. Shri V. P. Paranjpe, Ambernath, representing the Soci­ eties in Maharashtra. 3. Shri Jugatram Dave, Swarajya Ashram, Vedchhi. re­ presenting the Societies in Gujarat. 41

4. Shri Shrirang V. Kamat, Narsingpur, representing the Societies in Karnatak. 5. Shri D. J. Naik, Bhil Seva Mandai, Dohad, representing the Provincial Industrial Co-operative Association. 6. The Chief Conservator of Forests, B. S., Poona. 7. The Director of Backward Class Welfare, B. S., Poona. 8. · The Joint Registrar for Industrial Co-operatives and Village Industries, B. S., Poona. 9. The Chairman of the Bombay Provincial Co-operative Bank, Ltd., or his nominee. 10. The Deputy Joint Registrar for Industrial Co-opera­ tives and Village Industries, Poona (Secretary). 82. The following concessions are given to Forest Labourers' Co-operative Societies:- (1) The coupes are sold to societies at a price fixed by Government and not by open auction. (2) The conditions regarding payment of deposit and of the first instalment of the purchase money at the time of signing the agreement with the Forest Department are waived. But, the societies have to furnish a surety solvent for a sum equal to the value of the coupe plus 1/lOth of the price of the coupe in lieu of deposit, at the time of signing the agreement and before starting the work of the coupe. (3) Full amount of the price of the coupe is to be paid by · the 15th March every year failing which interest at 6! per cent will be charged on the sum due from that date up to the date of actual payment. ( 4) The outstanding amount should be paid by 31st March every year at the latest. The question of granting an exten­ sion of time for payment or for completion of work in excep­ tional cases could, however, be considered by the Conservator of Forests concerned and decided on merits. · (5) In the case of a coupe, the price of which is not paid in full, the society may be allowed to sell the material with the previous permission of the Divisional Forest Officer, on con­ dition that all the sale proceeds are utilised for paying the outstanding price. (6) Finance is made available to societies through the Bom­ bay Provinc;al Co-operative Bank and other Central Financ­ ing Agencies which grant loans on the recommendation of 42

the Joint Registrar for Industrial Co-operatives and Village Industries, .!'oona, under Government guarantee, under certain conditions and upto 40 per cent of the loan's advanced. 83. The following statement gives comparative figures of the coupes allotted to the Societies and other Inst:tutions dur­ ing the last 3 years : - ---- 1948-49. 1949·50. 1950-51.

86. The above statement shows that during the year under report the Forest Labourers Societies pa;d labour and transport charges to the extent of Rs. 12,82,617 and Rs. 9,82,048 as against Rs. 6,85,271 and Rs. 4,01,124 paid by them respectively for lab­ our and transport charges in the previous year. The other In­ stitutions paid wages to the extent of Rs. 24,123 and transport charges to the extent of Rs. 11,368. This would mean that the forest labourers earned nearly Rs. 13 lakhs by way of wages for exploiting the forest coupes and might have earned a major portion of transport charges, as in most of the societies the. transport work is done by the members themselves. 87. During the year under report, the Forest labourers soci­ eties made profit~ to the tune of Rs. 7,21,246.

CHAPTER XI

OCCUPATIONS-CRAFTS AND INDUSTRIES

88. With a view to improving the technique of the heredi­ tary occupations of the Backward Classes, 12 peripatetic parties as recognised last year for imparting training to artisans and their children in vocations such as tanning, leather work, cane and bamboo work and fibre work, continued to function during the year under report. Two peripatetic parties which were working in the Nasik District were abolished in view of· their unsatisfactory work. A proposal to replace these by stationery Industrial Schools in the Nasik district where training in tai­ loring, carpentry, smithy and bee-keeping is to be imparted to the Backward Classes, was under the consideration of Govern­ ment. The proposal could not, however, be sanctioned due to financial stringency. 89. Under the scheme of re-organisation of the peripatetic· parties referred to above, the training period is fixed at one year and stipends have been fixed at a uniform rate of Rs. 20 p. m. and Rs. 25 p. m. in the rural and urban areas respectively. Good work and attendance prizes at Rs. 3 and Rs. 2 respective­ ly to be paid annually are provided at each school. 90. In addition to the above 12 peripatetic schools, Post War Reconstruction Scheme No. 214 (2) aims at the organisation of the three peripatetic schools for imparting training to the 44

Backward Classes in improved methods of production and adoption of modern appliances, equipments, etc., in leather work, fibre work, and cane and bamboo work in the Districts of Ahmedabad, Sholapur and Dharwar. 91. Appendix X gives a statement showing the number of centres touched and the number of backward class people trained and under training at each of the centres. 92. In addition to the peripatetic schools referred to above, which are specially intended for the Backward Classes there are 21 peripatetic schools in various village industries as part of Post War Reconstruction Scheme No. 72. Though admission to these schools is open to any person desirous of taking up the industry as a vocation, preference is given to hereditary arti­ sans. 25 per cent of the seats at each school are, however, re­ served, for Backward Class candidates. If a sufficient number of Backward Class candidates is not available for. the reserved seats, the vacancies are allotted· to hereditary artisans or other candidates. During the year under report, 164 Backward Class persons were trained and 177 were under training on 30-6-51. Stipends are paid to trainees varying from Rs. 20 p. m. to Rs. 30 p. m. An amount of Rs. 1,50,560 was spent during the year under report as against Rs. 24,244 spent during the previous year on scholarships and stipends in the above schools.

Loans and Subsidies 93. The persons trained in the various peripatetic schools mentioned above are given financial assistance in the form of loan and subsidy both together not exceeding Rs. 1,000 for the purchase of tools and appliances and by way of working capi­ tal. The limit has recently been raised to Rs. 2,000. Attempts are also made to organise such trainees on co-operative lines. 94. Government have ordered that Backward Class artisans who are eligible to receive assistance under the scheme for. grant of loans . and subsidies to bonafide craftsmen · and Co-o~erativ7 societies for purchase of tools and appliances sanctioned m Government Resolution, Revenue Department, No.. . 4531/39, . . dated the . 25th .

The de­ tails· are given in Appendix XII.

CHAPTER XII OccuPATIONS Fishing Industry 96. Another trade in which some communities belonging to Backward Classes are engaged is "Fishing". The Department of Fisheries is helping such of the Backward Classes which are engaged in fish-catching and selling by- (a) erecting new fish markets, and (b) providing facilities:- (i) vessels being powered with engines to catch fish, ( ii) transport of fish to markets by power launches and trucks, (iii) prevention of fluctuations in prices by securing regu­ lar availability, ( iv) stocking the markets with supplies of fish, ( v) curing of fish and (vi) conversion of fish into fishmeal etc. Facilities granted to Backward Classes during the year 1950-51 can be summarised as under:- No. Loan Subsidy Rs. Rs. 1. Applications for loans and 4 39,695 31,200 subsidies for engines from Co-operative societies re­ ceived and granted. 2. · ·Applications from Back­ ward Classes· received for appointment as appren­ tices on fishing launc;hes.

Fisheries Schools

99. During _:__ year under review, there were 10 Fisheries Schools at the .vilowing places. 1. Satpati, District Thana, 2. Kolak, District Surat, 3. Umarsadi, District Surat, 4. Ratnagiri, 5. Sakrinata, District Ratnagiri, 6. Mithbao, District Ratnagiri, 7. Deobag, District Ratnagiri, 8. Karwar, District North Kanara, 9. Ankola, District North Kanara, · 10. Majli, District North Kanara. 100. Provision of buildings for schools in fishing centres north of .Bombay had generally been lagging behind until the year under report, when Government gave .a grant of Rs. 67,500 to augment a collection of Rs; 22,500 raised by the fishermen of Satpati to erect a suitable building to house the former school there. The foundation stone was laid by the Minister Shri G. D. Tapase on 6-5-1950. The building was com­ pleted in May 1951, when it was opened by the Chief Minister of Bombay. 101. The vessel "Jai Bharati" allotted to the Satpati Machhi­ mar Vividh Karyakari Sahakari Society . operated throughout the season with encouraging results. She employed drdt nets, long lines and hooks. Her catch was the highest amongst launches, being 110,615 lbs. for the season. 102. A member of the Satpati Fishermen's Sarvodaya Saha­ kari Society Ltd. installed in one of the Society's boat a 22 B .. H. P. Ruston marine diesel engine allotted by Government to the society. The vessel was· named "Bharat Mata". She be­ gan operations off Satpati in February 1951 and loaded 38,480 lbs. of fish. Her work was extremely satisfactory. 103. Refrigeration facilities.-Provision of ice factories and enlargement of cold storage capacity continued to be made dur­ mg the year. The most important of all was the inauguration of 48

the first ice plant (7 tons) to be owned by the fishermen them­ selves. This plant was erected by the Satpati Fishermen's Sar­ vodaya Sahakari Society out of a loan of Rs. 1,13,063. Installa­ tion of a plant has completely freed the fishermen of depend­ ence on supplies of ice from Palghar and other centres for the conduct of their trade. This plant was declared open by the Minister Shri G. D. Tapase on .6th May 1950. '

CHAPTER XIII

OcCUPATIONS-PUBLIC SERVICES 104. In supersession of all the existing orders issued from time to time and by different Departments making reservation ·in favour of members of Backward Classes in the various posts and services, Government has directed that the following per­ centages of vacancies occurring in the various services and posts under it, which are filled by direct recruitment, should be reserved for member!~ of the Backward Classes, viz.,

Name of service Percentage of vacancies to be Teserved 1. All State services and posts 12! 2. All Class III services and posts 20 3. All Cl~ss TV services and posts 25

These percentages represent the minimum number of vacancies to be filled by the appointment of members of the Backward Class and it is open to the appointing authorities to recruit members of the Backward Classes in excess of these percentages, if they are otherwise considered suitable for such appointment vis-a-vis other candidates. 105 .. ?overnment has also directed that all appointing authonties should take particular care to see that these orders making reservation in favour of members of the Backward Class in the various services are scruplously followed. · Appendix XIII gives the different percentages of the recruit­ ment of the Backward Classes in the various cadres in different Departments. 49

106. One essential public service rendered by a sect:on of the Backward Classes is that of scavenging and conservancy. The conditions in which this work is done in urban areas re­ quire much improvement. None other than those to whom this profession is assigned by reason of their birth in a particular caste would normally come forward to take up this profession. But this service is, however, not adequately paid at all the places. The increasing cost of living further subjected the scave.ngers to great economic pressure. Government on the re­ commendations of the Backward Class Board therefore appoint­ ed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri V. N. Barve, President, Maharashtra Provincial Harijan Sevak Sangh, to study and enquire into the living conditions of the scavengers in the State and to suggest ways and means to improve their present condition of work and to fix minimum wages. The deli­ berations of the Committee were still in progress during the period under report.

CHAPTER XIV

AMENITIES-WATER SUPPLY AND HEALTH 107. All public sources of water are now open to all without distinction of caste or creed. In addition, under the General .Village Water Supply Scheme, Government have agreed to provide one public well for every village or hamlet with a population of 100 or more. 108. The progress achieved under this scheme during 1950-51 is reflected in the following table:- No. of wells Amount spent S. No. District sunk or re- during Remarks paired 1950-51 1.

The following are some schemes of Public Health under the control of the Surjleon General with the Government of Bombay, Bombay:- (1) Two full-fledged dispensaries (with mobile units at­ tached to them) at Mirakhadi (District Panch Mahals) and Kathi (District West. Khandesh) instead of 80 S. M. P. Centres proposed to be opened. The preliminary work regarding the starting of the above dispensaries was under consideration during the year under report. The Mirakhadi dispensary is proposed t9 be established in a District Local Board Dharmashala necessary repairs for which were in progress. At Kathi suitable buildings were not available ~or housing the staff of the dispensary and the mobile unit. The Civil Surgeon, West Khandesh was asked to furnish revised estimates for the same. (2) Village aid Centres.-This scheme envisages the esta­ blishment of first-aid centres in the backward areas through the agency of primary teachers who are supplied medicines worth Rs. 40 p. a. and are given instructions as to how to use them. About 300 such centres were working during the year under report. (3) Sub-Dispensaries.-With a view to increase the medical facihties in the rural areas, Government have sanctioned the opening of 120 sub-dispensaries for the backward areas of Panch Mahals, East Khandesh, West Khandesh and Nasik dis­ tricts by replaci~g the Touring Medico-cum-Propaganda· units. The scheme envisages the opening of sub-dispensaries for the 51

distribution of simple medicines through social workers of repute who will be specially trained for the purpose and in the cse of the drugs supplied to them. 30 such sub-dispensaries were to be opened in each of the above districts. Durin( •he year under report, 37 sub-dispensaries were working.

CHAPTER XV

MERGER OF STATES 111. With the Merger of States, Government had announced their policy of bringing the administration in the Merged States to the same level as that of the rest of the State as expediti­ ously as possible. 112. Government, therefore, considered it necessary to work out a concrete and definite programme for the welfare of the Backward Classes in the Merged States in the economic, social and educational spheres, similar to the one existing for the Backward Classes in the older areas of the State. Government accordingly appointed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri D .. N. Wandrekar, M. L.A., Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Minister for Backward Classes to study the condi­ tion of Backward Classes in the States merged with the Bom­ bay State and suggest a programme for amelioration of their conditions. The Committee has submitted its report to Govern­ ment which has been published as a priced document. 113. The special basis of grant-in-aid sanctioned under Government Resolution, Education and Industries Department, No. 8621, dated the 16th May 1949, with a view to speedy ame­ lioration of the conditions of the Backward Classes in the merg­ ed and integrated state areas continued during the year under report. Accordingly, the following boys' hostels received grant­ in-aid during the year. 1. Dr. Bapat Vidyarthi Griha Hostel, Sangli. 2. Kumar Ashram, Jhagadia. 3. Seva Ashram, Dudhia. 4. Amrit Ashram, Santrampur. 5. Sanskar Mandir, Balasinor. 52

The total grant-in-aid to these hostels was Rs. 30,480 for the vear under report. Government had also agreed to bear, in full, the expenditure incurred by Voluntary Agencies on the appoin.t­ ment of propaganda workers in the merged States areas m accordance with the scale already approved by Government. The expenditure on this account for the year under report comes to Rs. 8,933-4-0.

CHAPTER XVI

THE DANGS 114. The Dangs, which was formerly a centrally administer­ ed area, is now a separate distr;ct of the Bombay State since lOth July 1948. It covers an area of 660 square miles mostly consisting of forests. Its population according to the 1941 Cen­ sus was 40,498 almost all of which consists of aboriginals. Soon after the formation of this District, the Backward Class Officer extensively toured in this district and submitted a report to Government. The development of this area is being effected on the lines shvwn below. 115. The detailed survey of Ahwa, Borshet, Sakarpatal and Borigaotha has been completed. The Theodalite survey of Jam­ lapada, Samghan and Tekpada was completed. Additional staff has been appointed during the year arid one more Theodalite machine has also been made available. With the taking over of the above additional establishment the survey work is being accelerated. 116. The work of construction of 24 Chavdis is in hand. 117. .Dangi agriculturists were encouraged to put up bunds for their paddy fields. The total area bunded during the year is 507.16 acres. 499 Bengal Maunds of paddy were secured from ·sa

Thana District for seed purposes. 50 tons of groundnut cake were also made available for manure. 7,016 compost pits and 1, 700 F. Y. M. pits were also dug during 1950-51. The distribution of Tagavi in kind, viz. in (1) Bullocks, (2) Carts and wheels and (3) food-grains in lieu of the value of bunding work effected, is being effected on an adequate basis. 58 bullocks were pur­ chased and handed over as Tagai to the applicants. So also 49 pairs of cart wheels and 25 carts were distributed as Tagai to Dangi cultivators. The Dangis use bullocks and carts during the fair season for timber haulage. This is a profitable employment for the Dangis. Rs. 45,000 out of the Dang Loans Fund were also made available by way of grants for the following purposes:- (a) Loans up to Rs. 500 for building houses; (b) Loans for carrying on small scale jungle trade such as bamboo sales etc.; (c) Loans for aid in the purchase of breeding bulls; (d) Loans for purchase of Persian wheels and other water lifting devices. 118.

In the veterinary dispensary, 398 animals were treated. 466 inoculations were also carried out against rinder­ pest. 24 animals suffering from contagious diseases were treated. 119. A class for training the Talati staff was inaugurated during the month of November 1950. Training in simple survey work, maintenance of village registers, village sanitation, public health is being imparted. 120. There were three rounds of D. D. T. spraying in the Dangs. Two mobile dispensary vans have been received one for the Bardipada unit and one for the Galkund. Arrangements are in hand to get the staff for these two units. Staff for 2 mobile Hygiene units now working in Dangs District has been sanctioned on a permanent basis. Plans and estimates for a 30-bed hospital at Ahwa are under scrutiny with the P. W. D. authorities. 121. 6 Khadi self-sufficiency centres sanctioned by Govern­ ment were opened in the Dangs district at Ahwa, Chankhal, Ghadavi, Kalibel, Kudkas and Shilotmal. These centres are working under the guidance of Shri Jugatram Dave of the Swaraj Ashram, Vedchhi, District Surat. Village industries, viz., (1) Sewing work, (2) Carpentry, (3) Black-smithy, (4) Weaving, 54

(5) Bamboo work, (6) Pottery and (7) Oil ghani w~re star~ed during the year. All these centres are working sahsfacto~Ily. The Sanchalak of the Swarajya Ashram, Ahwa, also orgamsed a Dang Pradesh Vividh Karyakari Apbal Sahakari Mandali to manage Fair Price Shops and to exploit Forest Coupes. In the forest season 1950-51, 6 coupes were also worked on a co-opera­ tive basis by this Society under the aegis of the Swarajya Ashram, Ahwa.. Similarly, 6 coupes were also worked on co-operative basis under the aegis of the Dang Seva Manda!, Nasik, through the Dangs Jilla Kamgar Sahakari Sangh.

Hutments in the Dangs.-Construction work at Ahwa, Waghai, Subir and Mheskati is in progress. The work at Ahwa is almost completed. Progress in work is satisfactory in general except in the villages in the interior. A dharmashala for Dangis visiting Ahwa especially those whose relatives were in-patients at the Ahwa dispensary has now been completed and is now available for occupation. 123. The construction of Ahwa market has now been com­ plete-! and sheds are being given out on rent. 124. An open air theatre has been constructed at Ahwa for public meetings, and for display of film and other shows connected with social, public health, economic and educational problems. · 125. Government in ~he Development Department (vide Government Resolution, Development, No. C. Sh. 2150-D, dated t~e 27th I?ecemb:r 1950) have sanctioned a scheme for Co-opera­ tive Housmg Soc1et~ for Dangis and the constitution of a Board known as the Housmg Board for the execution of the schemes. 55

Accordingly, 7 Housing Societies have been registered till 31-3-1951 as under:-

(1) Ahwa, (2) Waghai, (3) Chinchigaotha, (4) Rambhas, (5) Kalibel, (6) Subir and (7) Galkund.

The post of a District Prohibition Officer, Dangs, together with the posts of a clerk and peon have been abolished from 1-4-1951. The question of creating the post of a Publicity Officer for the Dangs District is under the consideration of Govern­ ment. A proposal for the post of a Lady Welfare Worker for the uplift etc. of Dangi women is also under the consideration of Government. . 56

CHAPTER XVII

ScHEDULED AREAS 128. The Collector of West Khandesh continued to co-ordi­ nate the work of Bhil uplift in his district during the year 1950-51. The Prant Officer for Dahanu Prant in the Thana Dis­ trict also continued as ex-Officio Aboriginals Welfare Officer. Similarly the Prant Offieer for Kalyan Prant continued as ex­ Officio Aboriginals Welfare Officer for the Shahapur Taluka in the Thana District. West Khandesh District 129. 85 Grain Banks were functioning on 31-3-1950 in the West Khandesh District. The same number continued to function during the year under report. Of these, 3 in the Nan­ durbar Taluka which were being organized on Co-operative lines, were transferred to the Co-operative Department during the year. The general working of the graip. banks including re­ covery work was reported to be fair throughout the period. There were 27 multi-purpose depots as against 30 during the last year. They are supplying provisions and daily requirements tv the population of the area with a view to wean away these. Backward Class communities from Sawkars. The working of some of these multi-purpose depots was, however, not satisfac­ tory and hence four multi-purpose depots (3 at Navapur and 1 at Taloda) were discontinued during the year. One new multi­ purpose society at Akkalkuwa is started during the year for supplying Kerosene oil, sugar, and cloth to the residents of that area. 130. Thirteen Bhil Hostels are being run in the District (2 in Dhulia Division and 11 in Nandurbar Division). The working of these hostels is satisfactory and they have proved beneficial lo the Bhils of the District as they encourage the Bhils to send their children to schools. 131. There are four S. M. P. Dispensaries at Kukurmunda Board _Mendhavadand, Pratappur. There are also allopathic dis~ pen~~rres at all the· T~l~ka places in Nandurbar Division. In addition there ~re subsidised medical dispensaries at Pimpalner and at Dangsh1rwade. Bhi~s and other Backward Class people take advantage of these dispensaries. The Bhil Sudh s ·t" · 1 ·d· . . ar am. 1 Is a so prov1 mg requisite medical aid ao Backward Class peop1 e. 57

132. Due to enforcement of Prohib;tion policy the Backward Class people are now reported to be much better off economi­ cally. 133. The following amount was sanctioned by way of Tagai loans in this area for different purposes. 1950-51 Rs. 5,08, 774. A sum of Rs. 46,000 out of Kathi Raisingpur and Nala Estate fund was distributed as Tagai for purchase of bullocks under Agricultural Loans Act during the year under report. Rs. 275 were sanctioned out of the discretionary grants kept at the disposal of the Collector of West Khandesh, Dhulia, for the purchase and free distribution of slates and books amongst poor and intelligent Bhil students learning in the village schools. 134. The Honourable Revenue Minister visited this area and addressed a conference of Backward Class people at Kawtiga­ van in January 1951. This had a good effect in creating a sense of self-confidence in the Backward Class people. The Backward Class people are taking keen interest in the "Grow More Food Campaign". The villagers of Modalpada and Ashrave in Taloda Taluka have been awarded prizes of Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 5,000 res­ pectively for good procurement work.

N. Bhag­ wa:ti, are· under the consideration of 'GQvernment. 181. In addition to the above, under the Post War Recon­ struction Scheme No. 222, provision has been made for discre­ tionary grants to be paid to the members 6f Backward· Classes for redress in emergent cases such as accidental fire, flood or other calamities. Deserving cases are reported to Government ·IJy the Director of,,Backward Class Welfare and relief is ·sanc­ tioneq by Government.· During 1950-51, Rs. 6,791 were ·spent' under this scheme as against Rs. 2,230 spent during 1949-50. Harijan I)ay • i82. The B~ckward Class Board ·recommended to Goverri·· meht. af'its 55th meeting 'held on 26-6-1950 that in view ;of· the1 encouraging experience of the 1st Harijan Day, which was ob­ served on the 25th September 1949; 25th September 1950 or any suitable day may be ordered to be observed as the Second Hari­ jan Day throughout the State to focus the attention of officials ·ars on the need for the removal of social disabili- and non-offi c1 d Cl ties of Harijans. The recommendation of the Backwar ass Board was accepted by Government and Sunday, the 1st October 1950 was observed throughout the State of Bombay as t~e Second Harijan Day by holding meetings and ~rogram~e~ m full co-operation with social workers and public assoc1atwns interested in the removal of untouchability. Except fo.r a fe.w minor incidents in some places, which were dealt wrth swt­ ably, the celebration of the day was marked with ~:eat suc:ess. It may be said that the drive against untouchability recerved further impetus as a result of the observance of this day. Finance 183. It wlll be clear from a perusal of the report that the amelioration of the Backward Classes is secured in .the State of Bombay through measures taken through various executive Departments of Government. The Backward Class Department proper, as stated previously functions essentially as a liaison Department. Its direct executive functions are limited to the payment of grants to voluntary agencies for general ameliora­ tion work or in respect of recognised hostels and payment of lump sum scholarships. As the amelioration of the Backward Classes is part of the Comprehensive Programme of Govern­ ment for the welfare of the masses, it is difficult to give even a correct estimate of the expenditure incurred by Government which results in the amelioration of the Backward Classes. The total expenditure incurred by the Backward Class Department during the year is Rs. 9,38,569-12-5. Conclusion 184. Success of the attempts made by Government and by non-official agencies to raise the economic, educational and cul­ tural status of the Backward Classes and to put an end to dis-. abilities under which many of them have laboured for centuries past depends greatly on the help and willing co-operation of the people at· large, and on the awakened public· conscience. The Backward Class Department gratefully acknowledges th · · d · ·t e assis­ t anc~ rece1ve m 1 s activities from various social workers in- cludmg the members of the State Backward Class B d d D1s. t nc· t c omm1•tt ees and Voluntary Agencies. oar an 73

Resoln. Summary of Government orders ~0. Gist of Resolution

the Labour Relations Bill is passed into an Act. It will thus be seen that no orders have yet been issued asking Municipalities, with more than 100 employees to set up Works Committees. Statutory orders under the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, can be issued only in respect of Establishments having 100 or more workers. Orders in respect of Municipalities with less than 100 workers cannot there­ fore be issued in exercise of the powers conferred under that Act. 3. This Board recommends to Government that inmates It is not desirable on educational ground to extend of Backward Class hostels should be admitted freely in favour of inmates of Backward Class Hostels the to High Schools in the first six weeks of the academic present migration period in Secondary Schools from 2 year. weeks to 6 weeks. If, in any exceptional case, the Superintendent of a Backward Class Hostel is not able t'l arrange for admission within 2 weeks, he should approach the Educational Inspector for permitting with full reasons, for the delay to enable the Educational Inspector to take suitable action. This Board recommends to Government to double Government orders are awaited. the sets of Special Scholarships for Backward Classes instituted in Primary Schools as the present number is tar too meagre.

Government to _ modify·· the scheme and revise .Executive orders accordingly in the following manner as h_as been already done with re­ gard to Para. 9 (i) & (ii) and para. 10 of Government· Resolution No. 924, dated the 24th January 1950, Agri­ cultura1 and Forest Department.

This Board recommends to the Government to add Orders are awaited. 6. to the list of Backward Tracts inhabited by the Back­ ward Classes like the Aboriginal Tribes, in their vari­ ous Government Resolutions and Notifications, etc., the Talukas that are substantially inhabited by the Back­ ward Classes in the merged areas of the State of Bombay. This Board requests Government to include "Garoda" Accepted. 7. or "Garo-Brahmins" in the list of 11Scheduled Classes."

In view of the encouraging experience of the 1st Accepted. Sunday the first October 1&50 was observ­ 8. Harijan Day which was observed on 25th September ed as the Second Harijan Day. 19~9, this Board urges upon the Government of Bombay to observe 25th September 1950 or any other suitable day as the Second Harijan Day throughout the Bombay State in order to give a further push to the great movement of eradication of untouchability and requests the Government to organise same in a more .intensive manner.

The Board requests the Government :to exten~ the date for submitting suggestions for· the mp_difications in the proposals as appear in the Bombay Government Gazette dated the 14th September 1950 to at least the 15th October so as to enable the Board to submit a detailed representation to the authorities concerned regarding the vital questions involved in tbe proposals. · 2. This Board recommends to Government- to modify, Orders are awaitea. Rule No. 63 of the Bombay Primary Education Rules 1949, so as to secure that no suitable qualified Back­ ward Class candidates are rejected in filing vacancies a! primary School teachers by Local Authorities until the prescribed quota of vacancies reserved for the Backward Classes for each local Authority is filled up. 3. This Board recommends to Goverrunent that suitable Not accepted. Backward Class persons in the Education Department with higher and foreign qualifications and efficiency in discharging administrative duties should be promoted _, to gazetted posts in the Education Department without -"' strictly observing the principles of seniority.

4. This Board recommends to Government that in order Accepted. to ensure minimum percentage of recruitment of Back­ ward Class candidates, to various posts under Govern~ .ment and Semi Government bodies are implemented, the appointing authorities should be directed to for­ ward to Government in the Education Department at the end of each financial year, a statement showing the number of vacancies in each cadre securing durin~ that year, the vacancies filled by them, the number of Backward Class candidates appointed to such vacancies and reasons, if any, for recruiting less number ·of Backward Class candidates than the prescribed. per~ centage.
